Last Month in High School

 Renee is graduating at the beginning of June from high school!  This month, she is saying bye to her groups as she is preparing going to Rice University.

Max is preparing for his Philmont backpacking trip.

They climbed the mission peak and stayed overnight close to the top. He event got up early in the morning to watch the sunrise.

This is Renee's last rehearsal with her dance group.

It is amazing that she kept up with her dancing all these days and how many hours she has spent on it.

Max joined the national team and through this tournament he scored high enough to present the US team going forward.

College Visits

The last month's highlight was the college visits that Renee and I went on after she got the accentance letters.

With me taking a break from work, I got some time and energy to think about this patch of grass that was just not suitable for the California weather. Renee helped me with some reseach on what kind of native flower we can grow, and this is the first one. We later realized that that there is another spot that has more sun during the day, so we have moved it since this picture was taken.

Max went with his friends on the last snowboarding trip of the season. He enjoys hanging out with them independently, so I didn't go on this trip.

Renee and I spent less than 24 hours in Houston to visit Rice University. As I am writing this blog, she has decided to go to Rice. We are now making plans for her to start her next chapter in life. I have contacted two friends in Houston already.

We also visited UC San Diego. Because of the schedule, we had the full day next day to hang out. So we made trips to near by areas and relaxed for a day.

Dancing and Hiking

Max was going for another snowboarding trip but got sick, so no snow pictures this time.

Renee had more dancing activities.

Max joined his crew on the training hike, preparing for the Philmont trip this year.

Renee got to hang out with her dancing group.
